About us
The Council for Disabled Children (CDC) is the
umbrella body for the disabled children's
sector in England, with links to other UK
nations. We are the only national body that
brings together the diverse range of organisations
that work with and for disabled children to
support the development and implementation
of policy and practice. Our work impacts on over
800,000 disabled children and their
families.
Further information on our work can be found in this brochure.
CDC's aspirations
We want disabled children and children with special educational
needs (SEN) to have full and happy childhoods; fulfil their
potential; and be active within the community. And we want
parents of disabled children to be parents first - living ordinary
lives.
